1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |

1 cup milk |
2 eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Butter two 8 cake pans, and dust with cocoa powder.
2. Sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in shortening with electric mixer at low speed. Add 2/3 c milk. When incorporated, turn up speed to medium and add remaining 1/3 c milk. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate and fold in until fully mixed.
